Essential The Official ADOS Discussion Thread

[Donald J Trump]

These type of tweets and thoughts are trick questions to turn us into some type of "Pro-American". As if being an "African" is like a revolutionary position.

Pan-Africanism in the USA, is always framed as American Blacks vs. the American Gov't (White people).

They take like the worst ideas from the 60s, like having a nation within a nation and this narrow Black nationalism and live by that. People don't talk about how the NOI did not allow of NOI members to vote or be a part of the political process at all - yet they'll clique with White nationalists to promote racial segregation and Black people having their own country. Malcolm X would preach but he never spoke voting or anything political until he left.

What is the point of being an adversary to the American gov't but you won't do anything to change. Why would intentionally take yourself out of the American body politic but all the problems you face is because you are out of the body politic?

It is stupid, too many ADOS people wanna put on this front like they are so opposed to the USA government, as if they are going to go somewhere else, as if Africa or whereever the fukk they think they are gonna go wants them. So while they are rejecting their birthright, everyone else is gladly taking every opportunity this country can give them.

Growing bitter and cold towards your nation is an appropriate reaction but becoming blindly cynical at any prospect of Black people having a prosperous life - leads you to doing stupid things. Like the NOI collaborating with Neo-Nazis and the KKK. Like the Liberian project. Like Martin Delany supporting the campaign of a confederate soldier running for office. Like the Atlanta Compromise.

We have historical evidence of the political choices that we make by being blindly cynical.

Which is why I would not wholeheartedly support - the ADOS movement turning to the Trump administration.

who said it was turning to the trump
admin

its strictly about only voting for a candidate with a black agenda

you typed all that up and its clear you did no research

This bill establishes the 400 Years of African-American History Commission to develop and carry out activities throughout the United States to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the arrival of Africans in the English colonies at Point Comfort, Virginia, in 1619.

The commission must:

• plan programs to acknowledge the impact that slavery and laws that enforced racial discrimination had on the United States;
• encourage civic, patriotic, historical, educational, artistic, religious, and economic organizations to organize and participate in anniversary activities;
• assist states, localities, and nonprofit organizations to further the commemoration; and
• coordinate for the public scholarly research on the arrival of Africans in the United States and their contributions to this country.

(Sec. 5) The commission may provide: (1) grants to communities and nonprofit organizations for the development of programs; (2) grants to research and scholarly organizations to research, publish, or distribute information relating to the arrival of Africans in the United States; and (3) technical assistance to states, localities, and nonprofit organizations to further the commemoration.



lets break this down since you have trouble understanding


acknowledging the impact of slavery is NOT studying slavery
its is not studying the financial impact down to a number how ados were affected

encouraging anniversary activities = fluff

assisting non profits to participate in the anniversary = fluff

research of africans contributions is not a study of slavery and how much we are owed


those little grants are a drop in the ocean compared to what we are owed




fam its riggt there in the text

it has ZERO POTENTIAL to do what hr 40 can do

Youre having problems understanding that the grants in itself aren’t reparations

The study whether it be from 1242 or 40 has to be funded either way.

The impact of slavery is a financial concept in itself so you’re just arguing semantics.

Encouraging anniversary activities is a better strategy to bring awareness to our plight than begging Kamala to acknowledge HR 40 on the breakfast club.

Assisting 501c3s to participate in activities brings more awareness than waiting on Bernie to mention reparations.

Researching contributions is exactly what studying slavery is

How Slavery Helped Build a World Economy

If your reasoning behind it being a fluff bill is because it passed its illogical because isn’t that the point of introducing hr 40?

Whats there to stop HR 40 becoming a sham bill once it passes?

Because by your criteria it becomes fluff once it actually passes

It’s really not a either or thing

We got until July 2020 to see where 1242 goes

After July 2020 HR 40 will probably still be on the floor chillin

Exactly where Pelosi intends for it to be

After all she’s been in congress since 87, conyers introduced the bill in 89

It took her 30 years to acknowledge its existence

Has nothing to do with being “a better bill” either

you can say whatever you want

just as long as you know that the lil bill you touting is all glitter and fluff for black people

which is why it passed so quick

and which is why hr 40 has been sitting for so long, because it’ll actually do good for us

Any of y’all going to the conference?

I’m seriously considering it. I would like to. I can say this now since I no longer work for them, but it would’ve been much easier to fly into Louisville when I worked for Delta. Could’ve just hopped on a flight.

Luckily, Louisville ain’t too far from Atlanta.

I called my congressman about HR40 and dropped a email.

I guess I gotta write a letter and send it by mail.
